 <b>Note</b>:
 Excel has inconsistent rules for the following numeric operations:
 <ul>
 <li>Conversion to string (as handled here)</li>
 <li>Rendering numerical quantities in the cell grid.</li>
 <li>Conversion from text</li>
 <li>General arithmetic</li>
 </ul>
 Excel's text to number conversion is not a true <i>inverse</i> of this operation.  The
 allowable ranges are different.  Some numbers that don't correctly convert to text actually
 <b>do</b> get handled properly when used in arithmetic evaluations.</div>
